Tt;e ibliowin.ir debate occurred in
the Senale of this St-.it- o on a pro-posed
change in-t- he Districting the
State for tho conveiii.nr.ee of the peo-ple
of Crawford, Plitlps,-Pnlafcki- .
Texas and Dcut counties hist week :
' Mr. Jones iiiiruduui'd aijili aiaed-ator- v
of aw act prescrihing tho time
and place of helling the Supreme
.Court. It attaches tiie counties
of. Crawford, -- Phelps', Pulaski. Tex-as,
and Dent to 1 he Supreme Court
of St. Louis, instead of JefferiOn
.City, as heretofore.
Mr; Guilett moved to strike o.t
St'. Louis aud insert Rolla, Pnelus
county. .....
.-
- Mr, Hardin thonght the hill 'was
nob a local bill and ought to be re-ferred.
to the- - committee on the Ju-diciary.
- Mr. Jones admitted that it was
not strictly a local bill, but as'it ef-fected
only the interests of the peo-ple
liviug in the counties mentioned
he hoped the rules would he suspen-ded
aud tb.e bill be read twice: Ho
could not see the propriety of refer-ence.
If it was referred at all; let
i t. be refen ed to the Senators who
represent that district.
Mr. Hyei-- said, personally lie
.would be for the amendment of the
Senator from Lawrence, (Mr. Gui-lett,)
but as his constituents gener-ally
desired him to favor the bill,
as offered by Senator Jones, estab-lishing
the Supreme Court of St.
Louis as the tribunal for the coun-ties
named, ho- - would be lor it.
. Mr. Sullett defended the claims
of Rolla as entitled to the sitting of
.the Supreme Court.
Mr. Hyer asked if the gentleman
had aay constituents who asked for
the change contemplated in. the bill.
Mrrtrullett said he had not, but
it had been the habit of Senators ou
this floor to concern . themselves
about the interests of other than
their own districts. . It had been
the habit of certain Senators to dab-ble
considerably with affairs of oth-er
districts.
Mr Hyer said ho would thaek the
gentleman not to dabble, with the af-fairs
of hia owl (Mr, flyer's) distriot.
Mr. Thompson said hef was in fa-ro- r
of a reference, because .the. bill
was not a local-bill- . Heargaed the
point at some, length.- -
'--
Mr. Guilett said as the gentleman
was from the --northern part of Mis-souri
he bad no right to: pitch into
what was proposed toy members from
the south.
Mr. Jones said he had listened
with much attention to the argu-ments
of the gentleman who .prece-ded
him. But he was still con-strained
to think that his bill' con- -
templatcd a real reform. He held
that courts were made for the con-venience
of the' people' and that they
might haye their rights meted out
in the cheapest manner possible. It
wa3 the expressed desire of the peo-ple
of the district to go to' the Su-preme
.Court of St. Lp.uis. find- - he
saw no objection., to passing the bill
at onco, without uny reference .what-ever.
':.--''- .
Mr. Hardin said he did: not deem"
it necessary .that a senator should
have a personal interest in a' bill
in order to ju3tisy hiui to give bis
opinion on it. He would say that
from What he knew of the Supreme
Court of St.-- Louis, 9 transfer of the
cases in the counties named to. that
Court was' not advisiable. The Su-preme
Court of St. Louis .now had
about 40() cases a.term, put.of;yhich
only' ICO cases on an average could
be decided. The labors-we;- o al-ready
too great for the j'udgos. " It
was generally admitted- - that' the
practice" of the.Supreme-'Gour- t must
either be reduoed or the' number 'of'
'.'.-- . ' - ' " 1 1
courts increased, lie was therefore
; iu favor of a reference,
j Mr. Jones replied, the trasfer of
cnses contemplated to the St. Louis
i Court would not produce a great
! increase of business. '1 ho people of
' his district would be willing to risk
j their cases .with tho St. Louis
court, in rcirard to epee'i. Besides,
i tho principle advocated by Senator
j Hardin should not apply ntider the
circumstances: The people ali river
i the state hada right to lie accom-modated,
a:id if the accommodation
was not practicable, it ought to be
made practicable. . .
Mr. Oal!ibar:on took the ground
of Mr.-- Ilurdin. He advocated a
referei.co to the committee. The'
bill contemplated an important
change in the tran?action of legal
business. The Supreme 'Court in
St. Ld nis was already too heavily
taxed with business.' If wo were to
divide the Supreme Court, so as to
acco'uimddate every lawyer in the
State, other portions of 'the State
might demand a similar 'change, and
there would have to bo a Supreme
Court in the north, another in the
south, another in the east, and an-other
in the west.
After soifie further discossion, a
vote was taken on the question of
reference, and the bill was referred.
Cheating Ths Printer. One
way of cheating the printer is the
sticking up of written notices of
sales, &c, upon dead walls, Court
Ilonsc doors, and sign posts, where
if a man should stop to- - read thorn
he would cxpo?e himself to the im-putation
of seeking knowledge un-der
u:-.nece.:s-ary
difficulties. There
might be an excuse for that mode, of
advertising in a country where a'
punting- - press is unkuown, or among
the people who can read manuscript
with-greate- r ease than print, or
who?e powers of deciphering would
render the hieroglyphics of Egypt
or the picture language of Mexico
no enigma.' In these days when
every- - community has Its printing
press, written notices are seldom or
never .read, and -- he is a mistaken
old. fogy, who hope3 to communicate
any fact of worth or --interest to bis
fellow-me- n' without employing tho
attractive and-beautifu- l impression
of type.-- Every body can read print,
but every cannot read writing,
not. even his own. Who,-a- t this
day would read in manuscript the
most entertaining book, gifted geni-us
ever produced I "Written pufcfli- -
eittinnc l-.nl-
Tir frn fl-y- n nnel. a"I floilr WV........S .v,..s iuv r.. .- .- V....
ages, while the printed to' the- - pres-ent
and enlightened condition of
i mankind. - If a fact is worth adverti-sing-
at all.it is worth advertising
in the best way. " "

JOES AV. XUE1L ON SECESSION.
We publish the following letter
for the benefit of such of our read-ers
as will no doubt -- be interested
in seeing what views .their represent-ative
iu Congress entertains iu re-lation
to the present condition of
o'ur country :
Washington Cur, Jan. 14, 1861.
N. B. Iluck, E-- q :
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 10th
inst. in which you say it .'would be
a source" of satisfaction to my con-stituents
to hear my views od na-tional
affairs at this juncture, i3 re-ceived.
My silence', .up to this
time lias not been from want of
interest in the' subject bilt rather
because I saw no practical good
I could .accomplish' by writing
or speaking uiiou it: "When
you attribute to me, as. you do .in
your 'letter, sentiments, of devotion
to the union' of these States, .as also
to the 'south-- and licr -- institutions,
you do xae no more than justice.
It is well known, that I' dov. not
concur in, thi3 doctrine .of peaceable
secession, as it is .called;, that I .do
not bel.ieve the Constitution of-- , the
United States recognizes the .right
of individuals or states to destroy it
at pleasure, with or without cause.
Yct.it is now too late to argue that
question. - We have n.ow.tb deal
with facts, not abstruction's. Seces-sion
now is no longer a question.
Revolution with its' black, lempes-tou- s
countenance and bloody hands,
stands before us". -- .The, .extreme
southern states -- .have already eufc .
loose frorii, their moorings. It is
for the border , states ;to determin.ef
whai part .they .will play in tli
great tragedy j"for . such I 'must call
it. That determination is,-no- t to
bo reached .by .the power of passion,
but by cool deliberation and-sobe- r
judgment. . The disunion move-- "
ment in the south, has, hitherto been
of. extreme excitement. It is not
the. result of .calm judgment., con-scious
.of intolerable wrongs for
which no redress, is attainable.
Like all passionate movements, the
means of success are left to chance.
No system of finance or regular rail-itar- y
organization , have been de-vised.
In fact, in the fury of tho
movement, they, have -- been, almost
forgotten. What must be (the in-evitable
result? I say disaster af-ter
DiSASTERj-until.w- e getinto civil
strife among one another, at, the
Soiish. . The revolution, as now or-ganized,
is a failure i n, advance.
A failure because its fruits turn to
ashes on our lips. We seek secu-rity
and protection trat we find in
the very morning, of .our revolution-ary
existence, . confiscation' ano

Tt;e ibliowin.ir debate occurred in
the Senale of this St-.it- o on a pro-posed
change in-t- he Districting the
State for tho conveiii.nr.ee of the peo-ple
of Crawford, Plitlps,-Pnlafcki- .
Texas and Dcut counties hist week :
' Mr. Jones iiiiruduui'd aijili aiaed-ator- v
of aw act prescrihing tho time
and place of helling the Supreme
.Court. It attaches tiie counties
of. Crawford, -- Phelps', Pulaski. Tex-as,
and Dent to 1 he Supreme Court
of St. Louis, instead of JefferiOn
.City, as heretofore.
Mr; Guilett moved to strike o.t
St'. Louis aud insert Rolla, Pnelus
county. .....
.-
- Mr, Hardin thonght the hill 'was
nob a local bill and ought to be re-ferred.
to the- - committee on the Ju-diciary.
- Mr. Jones admitted that it was
not strictly a local bill, but as'it ef-fected
only the interests of the peo-ple
liviug in the counties mentioned
he hoped the rules would he suspen-ded
aud tb.e bill be read twice: Ho
could not see the propriety of refer-ence.
If it was referred at all; let
i t. be refen ed to the Senators who
represent that district.
Mr. Hyei-- said, personally lie
.would be for the amendment of the
Senator from Lawrence, (Mr. Gui-lett,)
but as his constituents gener-ally
desired him to favor the bill,
as offered by Senator Jones, estab-lishing
the Supreme Court of St.
Louis as the tribunal for the coun-ties
named, ho- - would be lor it.
. Mr. Sullett defended the claims
of Rolla as entitled to the sitting of
.the Supreme Court.
Mr. Hyer asked if the gentleman
had aay constituents who asked for
the change contemplated in. the bill.
Mrrtrullett said he had not, but
it had been the habit of Senators ou
this floor to concern . themselves
about the interests of other than
their own districts. . It had been
the habit of certain Senators to dab-ble
considerably with affairs of oth-er
districts.
Mr Hyer said ho would thaek the
gentleman not to dabble, with the af-fairs
of hia owl (Mr, flyer's) distriot.
Mr. Thompson said hef was in fa-ro- r
of a reference, because .the. bill
was not a local-bill- . Heargaed the
point at some, length.- -
'--
Mr. Guilett said as the gentleman
was from the --northern part of Mis-souri
he bad no right to: pitch into
what was proposed toy members from
the south.
Mr. Jones said he had listened
with much attention to the argu-ments
of the gentleman who .prece-ded
him. But he was still con-strained
to think that his bill' con- -
templatcd a real reform. He held
that courts were made for the con-venience
of the' people' and that they
might haye their rights meted out
in the cheapest manner possible. It
wa3 the expressed desire of the peo-ple
of the district to go to' the Su-preme
.Court of St. Lp.uis. find- - he
saw no objection., to passing the bill
at onco, without uny reference .what-ever.
':.--''- .
Mr. Hardin said he did: not deem"
it necessary .that a senator should
have a personal interest in a' bill
in order to ju3tisy hiui to give bis
opinion on it. He would say that
from What he knew of the Supreme
Court of St.-- Louis, 9 transfer of the
cases in the counties named to. that
Court was' not advisiable. The Su-preme
Court of St. Louis .now had
about 40() cases a.term, put.of;yhich
only' ICO cases on an average could
be decided. The labors-we;- o al-ready
too great for the j'udgos. " It
was generally admitted- - that' the
practice" of the.Supreme-'Gour- t must
either be reduoed or the' number 'of'
'.'.-- . ' - ' " 1 1
courts increased, lie was therefore
; iu favor of a reference,
j Mr. Jones replied, the trasfer of
cnses contemplated to the St. Louis
i Court would not produce a great
! increase of business. '1 ho people of
' his district would be willing to risk
j their cases .with tho St. Louis
court, in rcirard to epee'i. Besides,
i tho principle advocated by Senator
j Hardin should not apply ntider the
circumstances: The people ali river
i the state hada right to lie accom-modated,
a:id if the accommodation
was not practicable, it ought to be
made practicable. . .
Mr. Oal!ibar:on took the ground
of Mr.-- Ilurdin. He advocated a
referei.co to the committee. The'
bill contemplated an important
change in the tran?action of legal
business. The Supreme 'Court in
St. Ld nis was already too heavily
taxed with business.' If wo were to
divide the Supreme Court, so as to
acco'uimddate every lawyer in the
State, other portions of 'the State
might demand a similar 'change, and
there would have to bo a Supreme
Court in the north, another in the
south, another in the east, and an-other
in the west.
After soifie further discossion, a
vote was taken on the question of
reference, and the bill was referred.
Cheating Ths Printer. One
way of cheating the printer is the
sticking up of written notices of
sales, &c, upon dead walls, Court
Ilonsc doors, and sign posts, where
if a man should stop to- - read thorn
he would cxpo?e himself to the im-putation
of seeking knowledge un-der
u:-.nece.:s-ary
difficulties. There
might be an excuse for that mode, of
advertising in a country where a'
punting- - press is unkuown, or among
the people who can read manuscript
with-greate- r ease than print, or
who?e powers of deciphering would
render the hieroglyphics of Egypt
or the picture language of Mexico
no enigma.' In these days when
every- - community has Its printing
press, written notices are seldom or
never .read, and -- he is a mistaken
old. fogy, who hope3 to communicate
any fact of worth or --interest to bis
fellow-me- n' without employing tho
attractive and-beautifu- l impression
of type.-- Every body can read print,
but every cannot read writing,
not. even his own. Who,-a- t this
day would read in manuscript the
most entertaining book, gifted geni-us
ever produced I "Written pufcfli- -
eittinnc l-.nl-
Tir frn fl-y- n nnel. a"I floilr WV........S .v,..s iuv r.. .- .- V....
ages, while the printed to' the- - pres-ent
and enlightened condition of
i mankind. - If a fact is worth adverti-sing-
at all.it is worth advertising
in the best way. " "

JOES AV. XUE1L ON SECESSION.
We publish the following letter
for the benefit of such of our read-ers
as will no doubt -- be interested
in seeing what views .their represent-ative
iu Congress entertains iu re-lation
to the present condition of
o'ur country :
Washington Cur, Jan. 14, 1861.
N. B. Iluck, E-- q :
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 10th
inst. in which you say it .'would be
a source" of satisfaction to my con-stituents
to hear my views od na-tional
affairs at this juncture, i3 re-ceived.
My silence', .up to this
time lias not been from want of
interest in the' subject bilt rather
because I saw no practical good
I could .accomplish' by writing
or speaking uiiou it: "When
you attribute to me, as. you do .in
your 'letter, sentiments, of devotion
to the union' of these States, .as also
to the 'south-- and licr -- institutions,
you do xae no more than justice.
It is well known, that I' dov. not
concur in, thi3 doctrine .of peaceable
secession, as it is .called;, that I .do
not bel.ieve the Constitution of-- , the
United States recognizes the .right
of individuals or states to destroy it
at pleasure, with or without cause.
Yct.it is now too late to argue that
question. - We have n.ow.tb deal
with facts, not abstruction's. Seces-sion
now is no longer a question.
Revolution with its' black, lempes-tou- s
countenance and bloody hands,
stands before us". -- .The, .extreme
southern states -- .have already eufc .
loose frorii, their moorings. It is
for the border , states ;to determin.ef
whai part .they .will play in tli
great tragedy j"for . such I 'must call
it. That determination is,-no- t to
bo reached .by .the power of passion,
but by cool deliberation and-sobe- r
judgment. . The disunion move-- "
ment in the south, has, hitherto been
of. extreme excitement. It is not
the. result of .calm judgment., con-scious
.of intolerable wrongs for
which no redress, is attainable.
Like all passionate movements, the
means of success are left to chance.
No system of finance or regular rail-itar- y
organization , have been de-vised.
In fact, in the fury of tho
movement, they, have -- been, almost
forgotten. What must be (the in-evitable
result? I say disaster af-ter
DiSASTERj-until.w- e getinto civil
strife among one another, at, the
Soiish. . The revolution, as now or-ganized,
is a failure i n, advance.
A failure because its fruits turn to
ashes on our lips. We seek secu-rity
and protection trat we find in
the very morning, of .our revolution-ary
existence, . confiscation' ano
